    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary and the main secondary objectives were region-specific. For submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the primary objective was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of ceftobiprole to vancomycin plus aztreonam in patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) with respect to early clinical response based on percent reduction in lesion size at 48–72 hours after first treatment in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population. For submission to to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the primary objective was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of ceftobiprole to vancomycin plus aztreonam in patients with ABSSSIs, with respect to investigator-assessed clinical success at the test-of-cure (TOC) visit 15–22 days after randomization, in the co-primary ITT and Clinically Evaluable (CE) populations. This is in accordance with the guidelines from these two regulatory authorities (FDA 2013 and EMA 2014).
    Protection of trial subjects
    No additional pain or distress was caused by the use of the investigational product.
    Background therapy

    Arm title
    Ceftobiprole ITT population
    Arm description
    Ceftobiprole medocaril is the water-soluble prodrug of ceftobiprole, an advanced cephalosporin that has been developed for intravenous (IV) administration. Ceftobiprole is characterised by potent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, including those that have developed various forms of antibacterial resistance. The recommended dose of ceftobiprole is 500 mg administered as a 2-hour IV infusion every 8 hours.

    Ceftobiprole 500 mg was to be administered as a 2-hour IV infusion every 8 hours (with dose adjustment for renal impairment). The treatment duration was for a minimum of 5 days and a maximum of 10 days. Treatment could be extended up to 14 days if in the investigator’s opinion this was required, and the extension was approved by the sponsor’s medical monitor.

    Arm title
    Vancomycin+Aztreonam ITT population
    Arm description
    Vancomycin is an antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis and alters cell-membrane permeability and RNA synthesis, with a mean half-life of 4–6 hours. The usual daily IV dose of vancomycin is 2000 mg, administered either as 500 mg every 6 hours or 1000 mg every 12 hours. Patient factors, such as age, obesity, or renal function, may require modification of the daily IV dose. Aztreonam is an antibacterial agent that acts by inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. It confers selective activity against Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, and is not efficacious against Gram-positive bacteria. Aztreonam has been used in previous Phase 3 ABSSSI studies with a dose regimen of 1000 mg every 12 hours in combination with vancomycin, which lacks efficacy against Gram-negative bacteria. The requirement for aztreonam therapy was to be reassessed at the 72-hour study visit.

    Dosage and administration details
    The dosage regimen used for vancomycin at the study site for all patients was agreed by the investigator and the unblinded pharmacist (or delegate) before randomization. Vancomycin dose adjustment for morbidly obese and hypermetabolic patients was according to local standard of care. Vancomycin 1000 mg (or 15 mg/kg) was to be administered as a 2-hour infusion every 12 hours (with dose adjustment for renal impairment). When locally available, vancomycin trough testing (VTT) might be used by the unblinded pharmacist or delegate to adjust the vancomycin dosing. The treatment duration was for a minimum of 5 days and a maximum of 10 days. Treatment could be extended up to 14 days if in the investigator’s opinion this was required, and the extension was approved by the sponsor’s medical monitor.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Relevant change / worsening of a patient’s status after informed consent (before start of first study-drug infusion) was recorded in medical history. From start of first dosing to and including the last follow-up visit, these data were recorded as AEs.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Once an AE was detected, it was to be proactively followed up at each visit (or more frequently if necessary) for any changes in severity, relationship to the study drug, interventions required for treatment, and the event’s outcome. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were to be additionally reported and recorded on SAE report forms.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    11 Jul 2018
    1. To comply with Competent Authority recommendation, the temperature ranges for the definition of fever was specified in inclusion criteria according to the methods of measurement (inclusion criterion 3b). 2. During medical monitoring, it was noted that a high proportion of patients enrolled in the study were illicit drug users. The sponsor therefore limited the further enrollment of illicit drug users in the study to better support generalisation of the study results in the context of clinical practice. In addition, a subgroup analysis was added to include illicit drug use as a pre-specified subgroup. The following exclusion criterion was added: "Patients with illicit drug use within 12 months of screening, including heroin, other opioids (unless prescribed for medical reasons unrelated to heroin substitution), cocaine / crack cocaine, and amphetamine/methamphetamine. Exception: Cannabis use." 3. Delafloxacin and meropenem/vaborbactam were added to the protocol list of antibiotics meeting the criterion of a half-life ≤ 12 hours. 4. Clarification was added of the circumstances in which the re-administration of aztreonam was permitted at any point during the study treatment period.
